Brazilian Blackened Death Metal band that has received excellent reviews and compliments for their unique style.
They have played hundreds of concerts in Brazil, sharing the stage with bands such as Dark Funeral, Krisiun, Gama Bomb, and on their first European tour they played alongside Besatt, Fleshless among others, getting excellent reactions from the European crowds.
Originally formed by creative composer and multi-instrumentalist Maxx Guterres, vocalist and guitarist, and Juliana Novo, one of the most brutal female drummers in Metal scene, two times finalist on Hit Like A Girl worldwide contest, the band is completed by the bassist Beto Factus and lead guitarist Rafael Orsi.
After years of brazilian tours, important shows alongside big names in world metal such as Dark Funeral, Gama Bomb, Krisiun, etc, a European tour that went through five countries, it was time for CRUCIFIXION BR to present its definitive work: “Human Decay”!
Successor to the acclaimed “Destroying The Fucking Disciples Of Christ” (2014), “Human Decay” is the second album by CRUCIFIXION BR and as well as the debut was recorded in January 2020 at the Hurricane Studio in Porto Alegre/RS Brazil and produced by vocalist/guitarist Maxx Guterres and uruguayan producer/guitarist Sebastian Carsin. Postponed for release in October 31st 2021 due to COVID-19. The album features special guest André Rod from brazilian Thrash Metal band ATTOMICA on the title track “Human Decay”, and the legend Dave Ingram (BENEDICTION, ex-BOLT THROWER) on “Bloody Fire Victory”. Also Sebastian Carsin recorded all the lead guitars in the album as a guest.
The cover art for “Human Decay” is signed by Romulo Dias (SHAMAN, Edu Falaschi, Alírio Netto).
“Human Decay represents the natural evolution of Crucifixion BR and I’m very happy with it”, declares vocalist and guitarist Maxx Guterres. “We’ve kept the roots intact and continue to address the brutality of this style of music, but there is, in fact, an evolution both musically and in terms of lyrics. This is a stronger, more brutal record, with more Death Metal elements, but still with the presence of Black Metal in some aspects. Crucifixion BR is going down a more technical and intelligent path, I think the music is more creative, as well as the lyrics. The previous album “Destroying…” has a lot of old stuff, from the roots, has demo songs and new songs from the time, on Human Decay only two songs are old, “My Savior” and “A Few Lies Of Your Whole Light”, coincidentally are the ones which were released as singles and music videos. The lyrics of the first album addressed classic Black Metal themes, such as the criticism of the hypocrisy of the Catholic Church, anti-Christianity, a little bit about existential crisis, talking about death, while Human Decay is an evolution. Of course, we still keep on criticizing Christianity or any other type of religion and fanaticism, but we also focus on believing in ourselves, in our ideals, in our inner strength and without dogmas, without religion, which ends up transmitting to the fans a message of not giving up on your goals and dreams and trying to do the right thing. We always want evolution and, musically, to become more and more brutal.”
